Saturday 6/20

Neck's still bothering me but it's not terrible (for the most part)

Warm up

axle (clean each rep)
70 x 5
120 x 5
170 x 3
190 x 3
210 x 2
240 x 1... JUST missed a second (belt)
200 x 5 in under 60 seconds (belt) Cleaned a 6th but didn't attempt to press it because after the first rep the clips slid and the weights were sliding down the bar. It definitely messed me up a lot because I felt it on each rep. Probably would have been good for 7 in under 60 seconds if that didn't happen.
180 x 8 in under 60 seconds
-Up till the 240 set I was trying a new technique where I don't rest in the rack position and I think it'll help me a lot, I just gotta work on it more.

Yoke (used yoke #2 today)
300 x 50 feet... felt it in my neck a bit on this set only
500 x 50 feet
add belt
600 x 50 feet (easy)
650 x 50 feet! PR and felt awesome. I would have finished it with no drops but it slid off my back around 35 feet and I had to repick it up. YES. Beltless yoke is the way to go.

Farmer holds
135 per hand x ? (hurt a bit... should have stopped)
225 per hand and put down after the pickup. This killed my neck really bad. Shit

Shrugs (double overhand for grip work)
225 x 30
275 x 15
325 x 8
415 x 10 (straps just to go heavier. This set hurt my neck so I backed down again)
275 x 15, might have done this again.

We came to the conclusion that my grip is decently strong I just really need to work on grip endurance so I'm gonna keep the high rep strapless shrugs in and when I can, lighter farmer holds for long holds.

Disappointed about my neck but the only thing it seems to hurt on is farmers, so I'm just not going to do them next week or the following and then hopefully I won't aggravate it and then with the week off before the contest it'll be ok to go on the frame.
